India, George V/Edward VIII 1/4 Anna 1936

This is the last coin of George V to be struck for India, but in fact the coin was issued in the reign of King Edward VIII, but has the portrait of his Father.

This is the largest bronze coin struck in India at that time. You have the crowned bust of George V on one side and the date and value on the other side. These coins are in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, but over the past 80 years they have mellowed a little.

Because of the death of George V early in the year most, if not all, of the coins would have been struck during the brief reign of his son, Edward VIII. We think this is an important and attractive coin and the price is not all that much considering the age and the history of this piece.
